I just went and picked my car up today from the rim shop. its been there for 2days now and once i started the car up i notice the service engine light came on and wouldnt go off i asked the guy in the rim shop what could it be and he said it could be from them taking my wheels off.. could that be what it is or he just bullsh*tting me?!! i just got my car and i dont need these probs already!! can someone please help me out thanks

if he took the tires off the rims you might get a low pressure warning which would go away. however, if you got a check engine light that is not from taking the tires off unless he took apart some engine parts he shouldnt have.

i think the the painter painted the car somewhere else.. but the light went off, i got to the gas station and notice the lid to get the gas opening was open and maybe some air got in there or something.. after i got gas and drove it for a lil bit the light went off

Sounding to me like these dudes took your beloved car for a test ride and weren't too nice.

Did you write down your miles before you dropped it off and when you picked it up? This needs to be done whenever you drop it off anywhere other than a BMW Dealership. Some guy you paid to paint your wheels, probly isn't the best or most trustable guys on the planet.

Lastly...

Read the owners manual, learn about your car. Owning a BMW is nice and all, but there are more bells and whistles than you can imagine. I understand you might not be a big tuner, but if you ever decide to tune, or upgrade your car, you need to know how things work incase you ever have any issues and someone isn't near by to help out.
